Robert Pattinson has revealed that the follow-up to New Moon could receive an adult rating.

The 23-year-old actor has said that Eclipse, the third instalment of the Twilight saga, is a "massively different movie" that could potentially be rated R due to its "huge" battle sequences, STV reports.

Pattinson said: "It’s a massively different movie to New Moon. There’s so many more main parts, and having these huge battle sequences, I’ve never done anything like it in any of the other movies.

"I think it’s really pushing the - I don’t know what rating Twilight was in England, like the American PG-13 or 18 - I think it’s pushing it to the absolute limit. It would be so funny if it was R-rated."Digital Spy

Rob we are all hoping that Eclipse (Breaking Dawn, too) receive an R rating, and it's not because of the fight scenes. We want hot, steamy, leg hitch scenes...meadow scene. We want all the kissing scenes in the book be in the movie. Who cares for tweens! Ask Summit to make a poll and breakdown the numbers, the moolah coming from the box office does not exactly come from the 13+ crowd. They come from hot-blooded women who watch New Moon again and again, till Robward satisfies them or until Robler arrives in theaters in March via Remember Me, lol.
